Description
*Summary:*
Hyperloop's generated JS code for a Java subclass does not expose its Java super class' public static methods and static constants. Only the instance methods/fields are exposed to the subclass.
This is needed to avoid issues, such as with Google's "SnackBar" shown below.

*Note:*
If the subclass has a static method/field of the same name as it's super class, then the subclass' method/field should take priority. This is legal in Java and is known as "shadowing".
*Work-Around:*
You must access the super class' static methods/fields directly from the super class itself.
